  1. Amazing how few people are viewing such crucially important talks like this and millions pay attention to that ignorant slob in the White House. It is a reflection of the moribund nature of American culture. It is so pervasive, unfortunately, thanks to the profiteers of our corporatocracy that our ability to change its direction seems hopeless.

  2. Feb 27, 2013 Cannabis oil cures baby of an Inoperable Brain Tumor says Dr.William Courtney

    Dr. Courtney pointed out that the success of the cannabis approach means that "this child, because of that, is not going to have the long-term side effects that would come from a very high dose of chemotherapy or radiation… currently the child's being called a miracle baby, and I would have to agree that this is the perfect response that we should be insisting is front line therapy for all children before they launch off on all medications that have horrific long term side effects."

    On Oct. 7, 2003, the US government issued Patent No. 6,630,507.
    But it was, apparently, not the sort of thing Washington wanted advertised.

    Patent No. 6,630,507, you see, is for cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants. Most people would simply refer to this as medical marijuana. Who got that patent? The US government gave this patent to itself.Just so you understand me, this is the same US government that has been fighting the use of marijuana as a drug. Yet its own scientists were claiming a decade ago that marijuana had been effective against a number of diseases.

  3. This is great. I lived in Pittsburgh, but left that excellent city largely because of pollution from the steel industry – which simply needs stricter, but foreign competition-sensitve, regulation. Now I live in rural PA, where the overspray and manure smell are plastered inside your brain. Again, government should step in. Costs should go up across the board as a sort of health tax. I wish Devra left out the feminist asides. They seem a disparity from such a public speaker to whom we eagerly submit our attention.

  4. Can avoid alot yes but not everything, you would need to live like a hermit then maybe. We live amongst factors, here every second develops cancer in lifetime. Even if you live healthy, what gives when there is strong EMF everywhere.

  5. I am thinking that our society has a hidden goal; taking away everything you want is supposed to make you pliable to accepting/embracing what you don't want. It's proving a tad hard once you get past the war that subtracts to force what isn't wanted by making it the only choice. Seems like we have a built-in compass for rejecting what we don't want.
    Speak truth to power.
